move my muddy old skin, revealing the
young and 'beautiful skin underneath.
The proi-pHS in so simple, harmless an1

and apply nightly, like coltf cream, for a
week or so. ifivery morning In washing
. off the wax, tiny particles of Worn-out
cuticle come off, too.'. The action is so
. gentle and gradual, "there's no discom
fort. It's, a wonderful treatment,-as It

"I have always been Interested In
women and I am especially Interested
Just now In you v western women who
have Jut been enfranchised." said Pro
fessor Sanford. "I am delighted to see
such beautifully clean cities as you
have. Clean cities are not only a mat
ter of public health and personal ad
vantage but they are a wonderful finan
cial advantage. I am sure you women
appreciate this and will, even further
Improve your cities now that you have
the power of tho ballot. It la Along
Just such lines as. these that women
will be able to do the greatest good
with their votes, via. the cleaning up
and heautlfylng of their cttles, .the Im
provement of their city government, the
enforcement of social purity laws and
the abolishment of legalised vice. In
no way can this be more effectively
accomplished than the training of the
boya and girls In the right way. ?
"Women are maklnar arreat- nroarreas
along the lines of public speaking. But
1 uo wisti tney. would uncover their
heads and hands before appearing be
fore an audience. The covered head. Is
a;relltf of barbarism and" anyway why,
should a woman's hands and head be
covered When she speaks any more than
preacher's or Judge's when he is speak-
Ing, -i V -;iJ---4--; i :J-: VV-- 'C- ' -
"My lectures"are principally along the
lines of literature and art I have a
series of lectures on the history of art
and on some of our finest literature. I
am a very great admirer of Shakespeare
and delight In nothing more, than to
read the plays of the great English
writer. I think my second choice in th
literary world la Lowell. ,-
1 am very glad to see an increased
interest In the public schools In art
and literature. The Introduction of art
In the public school is a long step for
ward along the right line. In Greece the
beauties of art and architecture were
rree Tor everyone to see and enjoy, but
with us we are too apt to find our best
art in private collections where only a
raw can enjoy it. We should make
room In our publlo buildings for sculp
ture and thus develop the publlo taste
for a taste for art opens such a broad
field of resources of delight. This is
quite, as true In literature as : in art.
The children should be trained in a
taste for the best in literature from
babyhood. The love of literature as a
means of enlargement of the soul is
unexcelled. It is to possess In loneliness
the Joy of all the earth. One need not
be rich In order to enjoy the really
good things, of earth and I am glad
to know that in many of the humble
homes of today are to be found children
who througn training, much of., It In
the public schools are coming to recog
nise some of the best of the pictures."
Sex Hygiene Advocated." ;
Professor Maria Banford, for . many
years a member of the faculty of the
university of Minnesota, In her address
Friday afternoon before the Congress
of Mothers at the T. w. C. A.,
said in part: "The old ' idea of
breaking the will of the child has been
entirely abandoned with our newer
Ideas in education. The policy of the
best educators of today Is to strengthen
the will "of the child instead, thereby
fortifying htm against the dangers sur
rounding ,hlm. We women are -coming
Into a greater responsibility along
lines Of civlo purity. We cannot hope
ta overcome all these retarding influ
ences at once fdr there will always be
evil men and women, but we can pre
vent commercialised vice. '7 v
"Every effort should be ; mad to
abolish commercialised vice ' and one
means I would suggest Is the inflicting
a severe penalty upon people convicted
of contributing to delinquency of-little
girls. I heard Jane Addams .say that
in her investigations she- had found
that in one group of 30 fallen girls, the
average age at which they strayed from
purity 5 was . eight years.-' i -'
, "The spirit of the home is the found
ation of Ufa of the child. The mother
must give the child her watchful at
tention long before the child is con
scious of this care. Then cornea the
period of .the questioning of the child
and the mother must meet this In a
loving but frank way telling the child
the plain truths as she ' knows them.
In Iowa baby shows are being held at
which prises are awarded not for bright
eyes and dimples but for , vigor and
health. I strongly approve of medical
examinations of young people contem
plating : matrimony. Mothers, show to
the strange and friendless girl an in
terest such as you would have some
good woman show to yours If you are
taken from her. In the heart of every
girl is a, longing for the respect and
approbation of all good people.", ,

" Talk on Parks. '
A , large number,, oFre?resentatlve'
club women of the city interested In
clyic affairs gathered yesterday after
noon in the auditorium of The Jeurnal
building in response t an lnvltaUon
from tha Women's Park and Playground
Committee, to listen to fin address by
- ' J
: M
Top Dr. Maria Sanford, professor
emeritus of the University of Min
nesota, who addressed two audi
ences of Portland clubwomen Frl
' day. Bottom E. T. Mische, City
Park commissioner, who spoke be
' fore audience of clubwomen yes
terday concerning the proposed
city park bond Issue. " '
K T. Mische, city park commissioner,
and to discuss and inform themselves
on the proposed two million bond issue
for public parks.
No less than 30 women's Organizations
were represented, clubs and the various
circles of the Parent-Teachers' associ
ations. Tbe meeting was presided over
by Mrs. G. J. Frankel. In the course of
his remarks, Mr. Mische said:
"Parks are not a new experiment. The
matter of publlo beauty spots, recre
ation parks -' and public playgrounds
have been institutions in Kurope for
ages. Many of the larger continental
.cities have Immense park area. Berlin
alone has 50,000 acres of park property.
London and Paris are also well supplied.
Of the entire area of the upper bur
rough of New Tork city 15 2-10 per cent
is park property. Of Hartford's entire
ara 10 per cent Is park property. Of
Portland's entire area only a little more
than 1V4 per cent Is park property. . '
? "It la Interesting to note the propor
tion of population to the park acreage
in some of the larger cities," Los An
geles has 9 2 aeres of parks, or a pro
portion of 83 persona to each acre. Bos
ton has 1500 acres or a proportion of
100 persons to the acre, this Is about
the correct . proportion. Portland with
her 650 acres of park has a proportion
of 400 persons to each acre.
"Seven years ago Portland had mora
park property than Seattle; but in the
past five years Seattle has spent a mil
lion dollars each year. No city pro
viding for the rudiments of health and
the social welfare of its citizens can
make a better financial Investment than
to Invest in land, for the reason that
bonds for , parks usually sell for a
higher rate than almost any other mu
nicipal bond. For that reason business
Interests are usually in favor of munic
ipalities Investing in land. . .
'Seven years ago property which now
brings $600 per acre, could have been
bought for 350, hence it will be seen
that land investment la safe and con
servative. : The city must havaebme
land, why wait until the present price
Is many times multiplied as we already
have. 1 Then too some of our citizens
could do no more worthy act than by
donating land to the city for park pur
poses. Spokane has recently had some
very handsome - donations along - this
line.. In times fast "Portland has been
remembered with a number of land do
nations, but Just now we are greatly In
need of many more. Seattle has 1500
acjespf park JandjLPorJlandL,ha9p5(li,,
Seattle has 'is miles of driveway con
necting Its parks; we have three miles;,
Seattle nas- zj playgrounds t we have
eight. : ' Seattle has four community !
centers; we are Just now developing our
first one.; . : ,'. .: .- . - !
'be opportunity to secure additional i
park acreage is ribw before the people.
If they are not opposed to the issue,
they may as well be unless they are ac
tively for it. When the issue lost be
fore it was mainly because people did 1
not know whafwe.s on the ballot and so
when in doubt they voted, "No."-" I do
not believe that a majority of the peo.
pie were opposed to those bonds, t it
was simply a matter of not knowing,
Let us all study and know this year and
vote the bonds which will mean so
much to the welfare of our city and.. to
her citizens." -

' The feature Of the meeting Saturday
afternoon was the stereoptlcon lecture
by C.. C, Chapman of the Commercial
club, his tophi being, "Our Oregon." Mr.
Chapman has a fine collection of slides,
many of them beautifully colored and
as he flashed them upon the screen he
explained some of the natural beauties
and resources of the state. Several fine
farming views with aiieat field and
harvest scenes were shown and the
speaker told some of the good results of
proper farming of rich Oregon soil. A
magnificent view of Celtic-: Falls was
shown and the great waste of energy
there was commented upon j
Some of the fish wheels and a few
cannery views were shown, depicting
very interestingly the salmon industry.
Orchards in full bloom and trees laden
with fruit were flashed upon tbe screen
while Mr. Chaoman told some Interest
Ing things concerning Oregon's Justly
famous apples. The lumber industry,
one of the largest in the northwest was
considered. A nlcture showed 40 saw
mills with a capacity of 100,000 feet of
lumber a day and the speaker made tne
statement that If these mills were run
dally at capacity It would take 40
years to cut all the timber in Oregon
and that estimate made no allowance
for new growth.

s-reat human waste under present moral
conditions. Mrs. MllUe Trumbull made
a practical address in which she op
posed the -proposed new , Industrial

have enough Institutions and that these
arils' should be placed In homes. She
advocated the opening of the public
school houses for, public dances end
reoreatlon centers rather than the erec
tion of more buildings. Dr. Bauer of
the Bova' Industrial Home was one or
